Deforestation/Desflorestação

Deforestation is the conversion of forested areas to non-forest land use such as arable land, pasture, urban use, logged area or wasteland. Generally the removal or destruction of significant areas of forest cover has resulted in a degraded environment with reduced biodiversity. In many countries, massive deforestation is ongoing and is shaping climate and geography. Deforestation results from removal of trees without sufficient reforestation and usually results in a significant loss of biodiversity.
Agricultural development schemes in Mexico, Brazil and Indonesia moved large populations into the rainforest zone, further increasing deforestation rates. One fifth of the world's tropical rainforest was destroyed between 1960 and 1990. Estimates of deforestation of tropical forest for the 1990s range from about 55,630 to 120,000 square kilometers each year. At this rate, all tropical forests may be gone by the year 2090.

I feel like if I was in a distorsioned parallel universe when I see this pic. So nice... the light, el enfoque, the color, the different cuts and lines on the wood... too bad most people still don't care much about nature and our natural resources.

@paperdoll: Thank you very much Paperdoll, I agree it is bad that some people don't care at all!
